A meeting of the United Democratic Madhesi Front held in Biratnagar today decided to intensify its stir in the eastern Tarai city of Biratnagar and tighten its blockade on the Biratnagar-Jogbani border entry points.

Chairperson of Federal Socialist Forum-Nepal Upendra Yadav told THT over phone from Biratnagar that the front decided to intensify its stir in Biratnagar and other programmes would be devised in a day or two.

He, however, said the UDMF cadres would intensify their agitation on the Biratnagar-Jogbani border entry point and block the supply of commodities except the supply of medicines and health related equipment.

A few days ago, the front had decided to allow the passage of vehicles carrying medicines and health-related equipment through Biratnagar-Jogbani border entry point. “We had relaxed our agitation in Biratnagar keeping in mind the Chhath festival, the greatest festival in Madhes and since the festival is over now, we will intensify our agitation,” Yadav said.

He said the front would also call general strike and processions across the city.
